Well, .val() on the select element returns the current value, so you
can simplify that:
$('select#myselect').change(function(){
var itemText = $(this).find('option:selected').text();
var itemValue = $(this).val();
$( '#answer' ).text( itemText + ' is number ' + itemValue );
});
or go even s
Can I just thank you guys!! I've wasted hours trying to fiddle around
with selectedIndex and stuff; the best I achieved was to get the html

with $( 'select#myselect option:selected' ).text(). But I couldn't g
I should have expounded more on the rest of it, but I had to run to a

Apologies to Rob (I had only tried his 'add the id attribute to

Thanks, but that does not seem to make any difference. Also, the name
must be enough because I've got HTML such as with JQuery x=$
("input.ProjectHomeLink_0").val(); and it gets the value successfully.
It's just with the selector I'm having trouble. Note that it is not
coming back with undefined,
One thing I see wrong there:
You are referencing dllViewSelector as an id in your jQuery, but you
only have that as a name in your html. either add the id attribute to
the select tag, or reference it as $("select[name='dllViewSelector']
option:selected") in your jQuery.
